Spicy Maple Baked Beans

I do love baked beans and this home made version is to die for. I could eat these any time of the day or night. So get soaking and baking...they take a while.

You could start with tinned beans, but they will not hold their shape under the intense baking...which after all is the idea behind ‘baked beans’. You can leave the chorizo out for a vegetarian option, or add bacon, or other cured meats to the mixture. A batch can be made well in advance of needing it...and you will look pretty special if you have guests for brunch or breakfast and whip these out as an add on to all the usual suspects! Enjoy!
